Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in cream
• Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by chaining a multiple of 6 plus 2. For example, if you want a blanket width of 36 inches, you would chain 110 (6 x 18 + 2 = 110).
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Now, *skip the next 2 chains, then make 5 double crochets in the next chain. Skip the next 2 chains, and make 1 double crochet in the next chain; repeat from * across the entire row.
   • Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next 5 double crochets from the previous row, then make 1 double crochet in the next double crochet; repeat from * across the row.
   • Turn your work at the end of the row.
4. Row 3:
   • Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet), then dc in the first double crochet.
   • Now, *skip the next 2 double crochets, make 5 double crochets in the next front post double crochet, skip 2 double crochets, and dc in the next double crochet; repeat from * across the row.
   • Turn your work at the end of the row.
5. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket reaches the desired length. This will create a beautiful textured pattern that is both cozy and stylish.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
